HSIIDC and promoter Sabeer Bhatia signed a memorandum of understanding in 2006 to set up a knowledge hub, Nano City, under the public-private partnership model, which was to be spread over 11,138 acres of land, covering 23 villages at Raipur Rani in Panchkula district of Haryana.
Sabeer Bhatia, founder of hotmail, may give some concrete shape to his proposed Nano City project, to be set up near Panchkula in Haryana, on June 9, when he visits India to finalise equity structure with real-estate player Parsvnath Developers.
The company is hopeful of acquiring 600 acres of land by January 2010.
Realty major Parsvnath Developers on Wednesday joined hands with Sabeer Bhatia, co-founder of Hotmail, to develop a 11,138 acres knowledge city near Chandigarh, where the company will initially invest Rs 400 crore (Rs 4 billion).
'China reduced its exports of urea to India gradually.' 'In 2020-2021 we imported 28 lakh tonnes of urea which reduced to 16 lakh tonnes in 2022-2023 and that has now reduced to 1 lakh tonnes in 2024-2025.'

India will choke unless it modernises its city transport systems, and you can't blame the Nano for this.
Tata Motors ended the year selling 21,012 Nanos, up from 16,901 in FY15.
Sanand produced only 515 Nanos in January, and sold even less, just around 391 units.
With deregulation in diesel prices, this variant does not make sense.
The small car proves very useful and convenient for city driving.
'To access our satellite, you don't need any IQ test, you don't need to write an examination.' 'You can be a Class 1 student, an engineering student, a 60-year-old person, anybody can access our satellite.'
This is the safest Nano Tata has ever put into production.
"Nano is like an open canvas for us. We have the option of positioning it on the lines of the (Volkswagen) Beetle or the (BMW) Mini."
Chief ministers of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha on Wednesday evening condoled the demise of Tata Group's chairman emeritus and veteran industrialist Ratan Tata, and said his legacy will live on forever.
This is the first time that a car brand will be selling its merchandise on the website.
The company took five years to sell the 250,000 units of the Nano.
Faced with steep fall in sales of Nano, Tata Motors said it will reposition the budget car as `a smart city car' with added features such as power steering, apart from introducing a CNG version.
Recently, another version of the Nano, one with a compressed-natural-gas engine, was launched.
'What's sad today is that there are so many people who cannot find work, not because the country is devoid of that opportunity, but because we are not doing enough in the country.'
Calling it India's fastest hot hatch is a claim that the Super Nano fully deserves especially with the very interesting specs.
"All Indian cities are already struggling with traffic flow problem due to various types of vehicles on the road, lack of need-based road and traffic design and engineering and the unchecked growth of private vehicles and with the entry of the new cheap car Nano on the road, the situation is likely to get worsen," Justice Kailash Gambir said.
Market watchers believe Tata Motors' move to upgrade the Nano is a right decision.
The Nano might have put a smile on millions of faces across the nation, but the traffic police in Bangalore is definitely not amused.
The Tata Motors team led by its Managing Director G Ravikant and accompanied by Karnataka Industry Minister Murugesh Nirani visited three places in and around the twin cities of Hubli-Dharwad in Karnataka. The Belur Industrial area, Mummiatti and another area around the airport near Hubli were the three sites which were offered by the government.
"We are conducting a feasibility study to see whether the car can be displayed inside some of the Westside," said a source. The feasibility study is being conducted in select showrooms that have a suitable entrance and enough space to accommodate the Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) car. The car might be displayed at showrooms that meet the required specifications.
In 2013-14, Tata Motors produced 21,358 Nano models against the plant capacity of 250,000 vehicles.
One of the challenges on diesel engine is refinement.
The company has delivered 1,000 cars to buyers and is in the process of delivering another 2,000 units.
Nano's production though continues unhindered despite mounting losses
Tata Motors was, till late on Saturday, collating booking numbers it had received from over 30,000 sale points from over 1,000 towns and cities. It will announce the final figure only on April 28.

Unitech is pinning its hopes on the sub-Rs 5 lakh category of flats to counter the slowdown in the property sector. So are a host of others. Apart from Unitech, others such as Omaxe, Raheja, Tata Housing and Ansal API are planning new projects in the suburbs of satellite towns or smaller cities to target the bottom segment, to generate more cash.
There were certainly qualities adhering to the Tata Group, which emanated from the persona of Ratan Tata. Most notable of these would be the low profile he maintained, which sharply contrasted the in-your-face celebrity status, celebration of wealth and pursuit of importance many of liberalised India's rich, love, notes Shyam G Menon.
The car so far known by the code name 'Kite' will be a hatchback.
We asked colleagues, present and past, to reflect on a man who has made such a difference to their lives and careers. Here it is then, a rich collection of memories that offer enchanting glimpses of the enigmatic Ajit Balakrishnan.
